Military Family Relief Fund – COVID 19
Military families in financial distress can benefit from the Military Family Relief Fund COVID-19 Emergency Assistance program. These funds will be used to help these families pay for essential household expenses during a National Emergency. The Indiana Department of Veterans’ Affairs, in conjunction with using MFRF, also offers services to help service members all opportunities to provide a stable life for their families.
A service member must be serving honorably, or have received an honorable or under honorable conditions discharge. Qualified Service Members may qualify for the funds if they have served at least 12 months of active duty.

Families may apply for the emergency grant on a case-by-case basis to cover up to 2 months of household needs, including food, housing, utilities, medical services, child care, and other important family support, which became hard to afford.
